A competitive synchro swim club at the University of Toronto

Now that we’ve had time to hang up our swimsuits and pick the gel out of our hair, we’re pleased to announce that the University of Toronto synchro club had a fantastic showing at the Canadian University Synchro Swim League National Meet in Montreal, Québec. We want to first extend a sincere thank you to McGill Synchro who hosted and the staff at the Côte Saint-Luc Aquatic Centre who put up with over 200 synchro swimmers over 2 days.

Overall, we are proud to say that U of T placed 4th overall out of 19 participating universities. We had a small but mighty group this season and placed in each of our events. Here are the detailed results:

We paused for a photo shoot out in the sub-zero temps on our way to Kingston!

Our advanced duet (Christa Plumley and Nicola Chaddock) had a personal best performance and paced 5th in Eastern Canada.

The whole club piled into our team van for the weekend!

Earlier this month our club travelled to Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario) to compete at the Canadian University Synchro Swim League’s Eastern meet. Our swimmers had many personal best performances and podium finishes. We want to thank the Queen’s University Synchro Team for hosting such a well-organized meet and congratulate all of our competitors on their performances.

On November 26 the University of Toronto Synchro Club attended the first ever McMaster Invitational. It was a very successful meet, attended by a dozen clubs across Ontario and Quebec. We’re so grateful to Daniella (meet manager) and the team at McMaster for putting together such a well run meet. Thank you!

It was also a successful meet for the routines showcased by U of T! Here are the highlights from the weekend: Continue reading →
